This volume offers a thorough, systematic, and crosslinguistic account of evidentiality, the linguistic encoding of the source of information on which a statement is based. In some languages, the speaker always has to specify this source - for example whether they saw the event, heard it, inferred it based on visual evidence or common sense, or was told about it by someone else. While not all languages have obligatory marking of this type, every language has ways of referring to information source and associated epistemological meanings. The continuum of epistemological expressions covers a range of devices from the lexical means in familiar European languages and in many languages of Aboriginal Australia to the highly grammaticalized systems in Amazonia or North America. In this handbook, experts from a variety of fields explore topics such as the relationship between evidentials and epistemic modality, contact-induced changes in evidential systems, the acquisition of evidentials, and formal semantic theories of evidentiality. The book also contains detailed case studies of evidentiality in language families across the world, including Algonquian, Korean, Nakh-Dagestanian, Nambikwara, Turkic, Uralic, and Uto-Aztecan.

This volume is divided into two parts. Part one consists of 12 Agutaynen language texts, accompanied by a foreword, introduction, and a list of abbreviations. Part two consists of one scholarly article, "Child Giving and Child Receiving in a Lowland Philippine Society," by Gail R. Hendrickson and Melissa S. Melvin. Agutaynen speakers number around 10,000, constituting approximately 2% of the population of their native Palawan province. Agutaynen Island, together with its surrounding islets, is the homeland of the Agutaynens. The island is approximately 15 square kilometers, and the population of the island is roughly 96% Agutaynen. Seven of the 12 texts in this collection were recorded on audio tape, and five were written by native speakers of the language. They were written and narrated at the request of the compiler between 1984 and 1989, with the exception of the last text, by Hendrickson and Melvin, which was written in 1991. Numerous tables, figures, and indexes are included. (KFT)
